A spokesperson from Merseyside Police said: "Liverpool and Wirral Coroner's Office is appealing for help to find the family of a lady from Hoylake who has died. Ana Marcroft, 83 years, of Market Street, sadly died on 11th January after being involved in a road traffic collision in Hoylake.

Ana was a "well-loved character" who would visit the Black Toad on Market Street, just down the street from the location of the incident, once a week.
Staff at the Black Toad told the ECHO: "We knew her by Ana, I didn't know her second name. She'd come in once a week. She'd been coming in since we opened, about three and a half years ago.
"She was just such a well-loved character, and just a lovely woman. She was just really friendly, she loved chatting away at the bar.
"Ana always loved to put a smile on everyone's face when she came in. She loved to talking about the Royal family and she'd always be sharing her political opinions with everyone, but in a funny way.
"I know she had a boyfriend over the way in Liverpool. She wasn't here that night. I don't know where she'd been."
Anyone who witnessed the collision or captured anything on CCTV or dashcam is asked to contact the Serious Collision Investigation Unit on (0151) 777 5747, by email at sciu@merseyside.police.uk or via @MerPolCC on Twitter or ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’ on Facebook, with reference 23000033404.
